Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

FOR THE CAKE
1 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 ripe bananas, small and peeled and mashed
1/4 c butter, melted and cooled
3/4 c sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c milk or half and half
FOR THE CRUMB FILLING AND TOPPING
1 c all purpose flour
1 c brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter, cold and cubed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X9 pan with cooking spray ( I use Baker's Joy with the flour in it for this cake). Set pan aside.
  • 2. For the cake: In medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk or mix well. In a separate bowl, mix bananas, melted butter, egg, vanilla and milk together. Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until all combined. Set aside and prepare the crumb topping next.
  • 3. For Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon, whisk together or mix well. Add in the 1/2 cup cold butter that has been cubed and mix together using a pastry blender or 2 knives. Result should resemble crumbly lumpy sand.
  • 4. To assemble cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Smooth to get into the corners and make even. Sprinkle half of the crumb mixture on top of the batter getting the entire area covered. Top with remaining batter and finish by covering with the remaining crumb mixture. Spread to make top of cake even.
  • 5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes. Cake will be golden brown and toothpick will come out clean when done. Mine takes about 48 minutes, but all ovens vary so check it at 45. Store covered on counter for up to a week.
  • 6. NOTE: This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9X13 pan.

Tips for Making the Perfect Banana Crumb Cake:

- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. - Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. - Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter. - Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Conclusion:

Banana crumb cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, flavorful banana cake and sweet, crumbly topping, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this banana crumb cake recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
